Flavio Briatore will have more cause to be angry as the stewards in Hungary have imposed 'time penalties' on Fernando Alonso for tomorrow's qualifying session.
Alonso was called before the stewards after an incident in practice that saw him visibly hold up Red Bull's Robert Doornbos, and will now have the penalties added to his qualifying times tomorrow.
The penalties will take the form of two seconds to be added to each of his times in all three of the qualifying 'segments', meaning he is unlikely to make it into the final ten, let alone the second portion of the session.
The first second, the stewards said, was for "unnecessary, unacceptable and dangerous" driving, and the second for overtaking under yellow flags.
The penalties come in the wake of the controversial banning of Renaults innovative 'mass damper' system in recent days.
